"Water, fire, air and dirt/
Fucking magnets, how do they work?/
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist/
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed"

- Insane Clown Posse, Miracles (2009)

Here, physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman explains to a non-scientist just how difficult it is to answer certain questions in lay terms! A classic example of Feynman's clarity of thought, powers of explanation and intellectual honesty - and his refusal to 'cheat' with misleading analogies... From the BBC TV series 'Fun to Imagine'(1983). You can now watch higher quality versions of these episodes at www.bbc.co.uk/archive/feynman/
